WHAT HAPPENS IN OMAHA...

June 6th, 2013

From the back pages of the acclaimed What The Brothers Sang album to
the steamy shores of Malta comes the video for "Omaha," directed by media
artist, curator and filmmaker Ben Russell, in his first outing ever as a
video director. Shoulder to shoulder, with only an ocean between them,
Dawn n Bonnie sing of and through the veil of time as the clock runs
forward and back, and man returns to the water at the resigned finish.
The creepy streets and discotheques of Italy along with the peaked hoods
and robes make you think that some little dwarf is gonna jump out and
stick Bonny, Donald Sutherland-style, but he lives to love another day,
thank Job! Ben Russell acquits himself nicely and employs some of his vaunted experimental techniques that have made his an international art
house name. Drinking game - take one every time you see the Senator from
Gladiator in the video. OR - take a drink every time you see Dawn and
Bonnie play this song live this summer.
